Thank you for this post. Never imagined bayonets started as castings. Thought raw steel bars were forged, milled, heat treated, finished. To see some of the stages of the work is fascinating. No idea of reasonable cost or price paid. Looking back on stuff seen in 30 years, wish I'd paid the price some wanted then for some of that stuff. Today ... it'd be well worth what wa spent. Thank you. Sincerely. bruce.
